potato 'Red Duke of York'

A heritage first early potato bred in 1942 with an excellent flavour. It is a good all rounder but particularly good boiled or as a salad potato. The deep red skin and pale, yellow, floury flesh make it an attractive variety to grow. It is generally preferred to the original Duke of York variety due to it being more vigorous, having larger tubers and a better taste. It has quite low disease resistance but its taste and looks still make it a popular variety.
